LETTER FROM THE EDITOR – A WORD ON PINK !

Pink! Chances are you either love it or you hate it. From the saccharine tones of Barbie’s dream house, to the trendy cool hues of Sketch in London, there’s enough variety to go about but it’s a colour (and a theme) that invites strong opinions. Pink isn’t for sissies – as our imaginary guest curator Miss Piggyhighlighted in her selection. Pink is full of associations, gendered meanings and feelings. For this edition of The Culture Edit we’ve been feeling a little bit like the editor in Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astair’s classic movie “Funny Face”. The woman who runs around the office singing – Think Pink!” (though our own rose tinted preferences tend more towards the surrealist fashion styles of SRK).

Meanwhile in the USA artist Pixy Liao took us on a photographic road trip to Memphis, exploring Tennessee’s dusty pastel tones away from her own Shanghai hometown. So there you have it. The Culture Edit brings you a little Pink! to brighten up your week.
